The Ridder Growth Monitor is a plug-and-play solution that accurately measures the weight of high-wire hanging crops such as tomatoes  and cucumbers. This gives growers precise insight into the daily growth and growth trajectory of their crops. The Ridder Growth monitor is designed to be easily installed and connected to Ridder high-tech process computers.

The Growth Monitor is essentially a weight measuring system that sends data to Ridder process computers from a large representative area from up to 8m2. This gives growers a more precise average over the whole crop, compared to other systems measuring single plants. Our software then converts this data into a clear and easy-to-read overview that tells growers exactly how much their crops have grown, showing the weight and the growth trajectory in kilogram/m2. The dashboard shows daily growth, cumulative growth since the start of measurement and average daily growth. The software filters for anomalies like de-leafing and lowering the plants, giving growers an accurate insight into the daily growth of their hanging crops.
